Peaches
Canned peaches can easily be grilled, which make a yummy side dish on their own or can also be added to dishes like pizza and salad.
This canned fruit is also a welcome addition to ice cream, pies, and tarts. Breakfast items like pancakes and smoothies can also benefit from canned peaches.
Mandarin Oranges
Canned mandarin oranges are just as delicious as fresh ones. Some argue they taste better, thanks to the fact that you almost never get a surprisingly bitter bite.
Canned mandarin slices make a super cute cocktail garnish and add citrus flavor to smoothies. They are also perfect for summer salads, as the citrus balances out dark leafy greens.
Pears
Canned pears never get brown spots and are soaked in sweet, syrupy pear juice, which can be mixed into cocktails such as vodka soda or a glass of champagne.
Both the pears and their juice make wonderful toppings for ice cream or pancakes and are the perfect ingredients for making sweet breakfast toasts or fruit tarts.
Pineapple
Canned pineapple eliminates all the guesswork of picking a ripe fruit, and there's no need for nifty knife skills. It also tastes pretty close to its fresh counterpart.
Grill the canned pineapple rings for a wonderful addition to meats and desserts, such as pineapple upside down cake. They can also be a garnish for tropical cocktails.
Cherries
Since canned cherries are already pitted, they are much easier to eat, add to recipes, and otherwise enjoy than fresh cherries.
Use them to garnish classic cocktails, add a beautiful finishing touch to ice cream sundaes and milkshakes, or even bake desserts like pies and tarts.
